Years ago one of my consulting jobs morphed into translating "Chinglish" manuals for VFDs into versions that can be read by normal people in North America, because my client was brand-labeling a VFD made in Taiwan. Having a manual that people here could understand was a sales feature for their version vs the other brand-labeled versions of the same drives.
I did actually get paid for doing that work, but the copyrights were kept by the company that hired me. Nonetheless, I see my handiwork replicated in a half dozen different manuals for Asian VFD brands that are not even remotely related to the company I did the work for. That company has totally thrown in the towel on trying to enforce their copyrights, the lawyers charge more than they could ever hope to recover.
